GAA All Stars Awards winners (hurling)

This is a list of all past winners of the official GAA All Stars Awards since the first awards in 1971. As an insight to the prominent players of the 1960s, it also includes the unofficial "Cuchulainn" awards presented from 1963 to 1967 under the auspices of Gaelic Weekly magazine.

For each year since 1995, when the official award began, the All Stars Hurler of the Year is highlighted with ^HOTY. If the footballer of the year did not win an All-stars award, his name is added to the list as HOTY. The unofficial Texaco Hurler of the Year, awarded since 1958, is a guide to the leading players of the past.
